FrSky Tandem X18 Transmitter 2.4 and 900mHz - Blue

FrSky Tandem X18 Transmitter 2.4 and 900mHz - Blue

Note: The difference between the X18 and the X18 SE is a higher quality screen with improved visibility in direct sunlight and the custom red paint job.

The FrSky Tandem X18 is a dual-band telemetry radio that features a color touch screen display, ergonomic design, Tandem dual-band RF system (2.4 & 900), and most importantly Ethos - Frsky’s newest operating system.

It boasts an impressive end-to-end latency, ergonomic design featuring low weight and a thin profile, natural switch, button, and slider positioning, hall effect gimbals as well as built-in mass storage.

The biggest innovation in this radio lies in its software, Ethos, which has been designed from the ground up to encapsulate the power and flexibility of OpenTX while retaining the ease of use and user interface of a menu-driven system.

It features customizable elements such as sounds, model images, and splash screens, while also including an easy-to-use setup wizard, tips while programming, along with preset and complex mixing options and flight modes.

Ethos makes quick work of programming simple planes or something complex like a full-house glider.

If you are familiar with OpenTX, Ethos will feel really familiar but faster and easier to use.

If you are coming from a menu-driven system, Ethos is a supremely powerful and easy-to-learn software that will have you up and running in no time.

We like to say that Ethos can do whatever you can think of for radio to do! Yeah, it can do that.

 The X18 also boasts some features new to FrSky radios.

A crisp and responsive 480 x 320 touch screen that is easily visible in sunlight, backed by a more powerful CPU.

If you prefer button navigation, full functionality is still available through the normal nav buttons, so no need to touch the screen.

USB-C charging (2A+), an included 4000mah LiPo battery pack, and FrSky’s robust telemetry system with a huge selection of receivers to meet any need.

For those that may be new to FrSky, you will be getting the most robust telemetry system ever built into a hobby-level radio.

From simple voltage and signal strength monitoring that has helped avoid countless accidents to advanced features like monitoring amp loads for an individual servo, fuel flow sensors, airspeed, and so much more, you will not find a better telemetry system in the hobby.
